LONDON (Reuters) - France vice-captain Yoann Maestri faces a misconduct complaint following an investigation into the extraordinary conclusion to the Six Nations Championship clash against Wales in Paris last weekend, tournament organisers said on Friday.

Toulouse lock Maestri will have a disciplinary hearing after critical comments he made about referee Wayne Barnes following a chaotic conclusion which featured 20 minutes of added time before France scored a converted try to seal a 20-18 win.
